Who would you like to see GGG matched with? Looking at the MW top 10 there's hardly anyone who I would consider a step up from the likes of Geale and Macklin, and one of the best hypothetical opponents in Quillin just vacated his title when he was being paid $1.4 million to defend it against a very beatable opponent. Chavez-GGG was in the works, but Chavez had problems with Arum and ended up not signing despite millions being offered. Cotto is obviously the lineal champion and very proven in lower divisions, but I don't see him doing much better than most of GGG's recent opponents have and because of the state Sergio was in for their bout I'm still not sure how good of a MW Cotto even is.Old bones Ian wrote:Rubio was just there for the payday, he could of got up in time but didn't. GGG needs to be matched tougher, but they have to pay the money to get people to face him.
Walters v Donaire was a good fight, first 3 rounds looked like it could build into a FoTY one, but once Walters knocked Donaire down it changed the fight and ultimately the younger stronger fighter came through. Walters has a great jab really busted up Donaire with it, although he knocked him out with a right hand Walters looks like he could do with some work on that part of his game.
I watched it through download, and the HBO commentary team are excellent. RJJ really comes across well on it, giving excellent insight into the mindset of a boxer.
For most realistic step-ups to happen he can't stay at MW in my opinion. If he does, I think the best realistic 2015 would be something like Murray, Korobov-Lee winner, Cotto-Canelo winner, and a top 15 type like David Lemieux.
